Hades Isn't Hell

When a man dies his body goes back to the earth from which it came, his life (breath) stops, then his spirit, the one thing that separates us from other animals & that lives eternally, will go to a place called Hades. Hades isn't Hell, rather it is a realm for disembodied spirits, and there are 3 parts of Hades, 1, is Paradise, that's were Jesus told the thief on the cross that repented and asked for forgiveness would go, and Jesus said to him, that today he (the thief) would be with Him in paradise. (Luke 23:43). 2, is a place of torment, that's where the rich man went when he refused to help Lazarus (read Luke 16). Lazarus went to Paradise, the rich man went to the place of torment. Neither had bodies but they recognized each other, and the rich man even saw Abraham there. 3, there was a great gulf that separated the 2 places, and they could not cross to and from. They made the choice to be where they are, by what they did while alive here on earth. Neither of these places are the permanent abiding place of the dead, they are both a foretaste of what each will encounter after the second coming of Christ, when our spirit will be reunited with our bodies, as the grave gives them up. Those now in Paradise will be taken to the Judgement seat of Christ, and judged for their actions after they were saved, (II Corinthians 5:10) and then they will enter into a new Heaven (Garden Of Eden), where there will be no pain, no sorrow, no tears,etc. Those in the place of torment will be taken from there to the Great White Throne judgement, and this is where they will see that their names WERE NOT written in the Lambs Book Of Life (Revelation 20) and then cast in to what the Bible refers to as a Lake of Fire. There it is, the simple truth, look it up. ~ Big Love, Cochise

Amos 8:11

Not a famine of food, water, sense or nonsense, but a famine of the Word will one day come. A day when there will be no more comfort nor hope, as those who believe will be killed or gone, though He will leave a small remnant, but they will be few................and when IT all comes tumbling down, there will no place to go, no comfort, no sympathy, no place to hide......................for 7 years. Men want men like me to shut up, and one day I and all others will. The "real" church will be no more!!! Just buildings, with no Spirit & no Rest...........filled with seekers, but nothing to be found. How will it feel to experience a famine of hearing the words of the Lord? Peace ~ Cochise P.S. Memorize as much Bible as you can, for one day It will be no more. Satan is sitting up a world stage of puppets, that will work together to rid the earth of all things good, and Bibles will be destroyed..........all you will have if you don't make it out on the first train, is what you have memorized when you where in Vacation Bible School or the couple of times you went to church or read a pastor's words. But why wait until it's to late..............seek Him now, while He may be found & accept His promises. II Corinthians 1:20 "For every one of God's promises are "YES" in Him". ~ James (Not Joel)

What Is The Gospel?

"Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the Gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; by which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the scriptures" (1st Corinthians 15:1-4).

WORD!!!

Matthew 11:29-30, “Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

Think About It!!!

I don't know how many of you folks are aware of this here on Face Book, but I get numerous e-mails, cochise@cochisechops.com , text messages (386) 690-6270, and private (sometimes public) messages from several people weekly wanting help or I should say ministering to, or prayer.
I want you to know that I don't mind that one bit, that's what I'm here for.......................I am a licensed counselor in the state of Indiana, unless it's expired..................I've taught the 12 step program, I've done grief counseling to marriage counseling (which is they same, sometimes :)...........I have prayed with people who are and are not Christian.
I've lead thousands to a saving relationship, with God, or as us old timers say, I've helped them make their peace with the Man upstairs, as I have my next door neighbor..........that's dealing with a terminal disease...............I have lead some to that saving knowledge to right on here..................That is my JOB!!! I LOVE IT...........yet,
How much more could myself and others do, if we had a building for ministry??? I told someone earlier, that if my friends "here" would take what they spend on drinks for one week, it would pay for us to have a place of ministry, counseling & a place to worship, do the 12 step, do the salvation deal.......................help those in need....................think about that.
Maybe, just maybe...........the good Lord wants some of you to lay down some of your "jack" for a week of making you feel good, to make it possible to help others feel good about themselves.
Many of you have kids that are rebelling....................I can help you. Marriage problems? I can help!
To God, obedience & sacrifice go hand in hand, maybe some of you will listen, respond and share this writing. I have been approached by a group that wants me to start a "Biker Church" here, and I'm all for it, but IT WOULD BE SO MUCH MORE.
I hear money is tight, BUT I KNOW BETTER!!! There is money here in this area, but people are holding on to it, WHY? For a rainy day? I've lost 5 brothers to death in 18 months, all of them had money.........and it went to people that will do they same with it, while others are in dire need.
Do you trust me, have I proven myself? Hold on to that money, and watch your kids go down the drain. Watch as good people are dying without someone to hold their hand, and pray for them, and cry for them.................watch as people slip off into eternity, while we sit in the bars, and drop more in a week, than a descent place would rent for......................not trying to scold anyone, but if you take it that way....................so be it, cause I didn't mean it that way.
I think it's time to shit or get off the pot here in this area. You want me? You need me? I WANT AND NEED YOU, and so do your children and some who are dying........................mostly from depression. They don't do bars, they can't afford to eat out...............they have no where to go for fellowship and to assimilate (a major problem here)..............let's make a place for them.
God Bless, Pastor Cochise (Could Be Yours) , and I love you folks, I really do, from the bottom of my heart, and I love my calling.
Think about it!!! Share this if you like.........................or de-friend me. I'm not a bum, I pay my way, but some can't..................will you help.....................Prayerfully? Physically? AND YES FINANCIALLY? If someone can leave a million dollars to Michael Ballard at the Full Throttle Saloon, to keep people entertained........there has to be a few here who can help me!!!
Again Big Love!!!!
